Hong Kong, the world’s premier trading hub for jewellery, is a free port where there are no duties or restrictions imposed on precious jewellery products or related materials. It is also the ideal springboard from which traders worldwide can venture out to the booming markets of mainland China and the rest of Asia.
The September Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair, organised by UBM Asia, continues to attract key players in the world’s jewellery industry, a hallmark of a truly successful fair. In 2015, the September Fair hosted a select group of over 3,750 exhibitors from 50 countries and regions. They occupied more than 135,000 square metres of exhibition space in two venues: the AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE) and the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). The fair welcomed over 57,600 visitors from around the world. The attendance figure attests to the fair’s position as a vital jewellery marketplace that every serious jeweller and connoisseur cannot afford to miss.
